Yaakov Brafman
This summer, I am excited to take part in Bike4Chai, an exhilarating and challenging cycling event benefiting the children and families of Chai Lifeline. Every mile I ride and every dollar I raise will help support critical programs and services for more than 6,000 families impacted by illness, crisis, and loss. These services include counseling and case management, meals delivered to hospitals and homes, transportation to medical appointments, emergency financial assistance, insurance advocacy, i-Shine afterschool programming, Big Brothers/Sisters, crisis and trauma intervention, and Chai Lifeline’s flagship medically-supervised summer programs, Camp Simcha, Camp Simcha Special, and Camp Simcha Without Borders.
My goal is to raise $10,000 for this important cause and I hope I can count on you to help me reach it. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.
Life for a child with cancer, disability, or other serious illness is grueling. From the moment of diagnosis, Chai Lifeline’s dedicated staff and volunteers are there to provide joy, hope, and unparalleled care throughout the turbulent medical journey. Please contribute generously by clicking on the donate button now.
On behalf of the children and families of Chai Lifeline, thank you for your support.

Yaacov, you are a tremendous inspiration. You have a rare gift for seeing the good in everyone, even when others might overlook it. Your kindness, genuine warmth, and cheerful spirit brighten every room you enter. Time and again, you go out of your way to help others, asking for nothing in return. Your generosity, compassion, and unwavering positivity leave a lasting impression on everyone who has the privilege of knowing you.
The way you live your life is a beautiful example of selflessness and love. You encourage people simply by being yourself, reminding us that small acts of kindness can have a profound impact. Thank you for the countless ways you lift others up and for inspiring us to become better people. The world is a better place because of the light you bring into it.

Dear Yaakov,
Wishing you a safe, smooth, and successful trip!
It's truly inspiring to see how many meaningful projects you're involved in, always with quiet dedication, humility, and without seeking the spotlight.
And speaking of bicycles—(Netherlands):
When the ride gets harder, it doesn't mean you're falling behind—it means you're climbing. Every uphill road leads you to a higher place.
May you continue to go from strength to strength, reaching ever greater heights, and may all your efforts be blessed with success.
Have a wonderful journey and ride safely!
